When two of your best friends start dating each other

When you played matchmaker and paired two of your bestfriends, it seemed like it was destined to be. After all, you pictured two of your besties spending the rest of their lives together. Unfortunately, it doesn’t take too long for you to realise that this may not be exactly what you signed up for

As much as you don’t mind them dating each other and are really happy for them, you’re now a constantly third wheel. What was supposed to be a fun group activity, all of a sudden stops being that and all you can do is stare blankly at your phone screen when the PDA starts.

You now are privy to both their secrets, and sadly have to bear the burden of this guilt to your very end. You’re their only ‘trustworthy’ friend and no matter how hard you try, you will have to fight that urge to spill one friend’s secret to the other.

Nothing haunts you more the thought of playing referee every time they have an argument. Not only do you unnecessarily get dragged down to hell along with them, but are also forced to take sides, even when you know both are wrong.

You played Cupid for them and now every time they have a ‘serious relationship issue’, you’re the only one they turn to for advice in such situations. You don’t know whether you should be offering them your best critical analysis of the situation or should just pass on some tissues while they continue with their sob story.

It hurts when you see them hanging out together, conveniently forgetting all about you. You no longer get called to the movies or lunch dates, because they need some alone time together. While they’ve got each other, you’ve only got Netflix and popcorn to spend you lonely weekends.

Now that you’re lonely, you turn to alcohol, your long lost best friend. So what if your friends no longer make plans with you! You will always have that tall glass of beer waiting for you, willing to keep you company ALWAYS.

You start looking for potential dates or boyfriends so that all four of you can hang out together, without either of you feeling awkward. Even after swiping left for days, you don’t find one good candidate who could help you save your friendship.

When all else fails, you get back to your old ways and try to be supportive and bearing with their PDAs. You love chilling with them and no matter how weird and awkward things could get while y’all hang out together, you wouldn’t want to lose either of them.
